XML-RPC with HTTP authentication

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

Hi there,

I am new to using XMLRPC.

I found the function “call xmlrpc” but I can’t seem to find any way to make it communicate with the server. This is because the server uses HTTP authorisation using the basic schema. I don’t know how to implement this.
Is there anyone out here that is familiar with xmlrpc and knows how to use it together with HTTP authentication?

I have all information regarding server address, method to call and parameters

Please help!

I found out why it was not working. The service provider told me I had to use standard HTTP authenticaton using syntax:
tell application “http://[name]:[password]@[serveradres]”

The function “call xmlrpc”, witch is build-in to the Mac OS does not seem to support authentication.
Removing the need to authenticate made everything work fine.

Maybe if someone finds a solution for this or knows a workaround please let us know.

Kind Regards,
Pieter
